Google photos on ios is literally a hostage situation. Remove key functionalities like copying an image or editing an image unless you give them full unrestricted access to your entire photo library. (The holy grail of surveillance capitalism data). Data extortion masquerading as a service.

    that the app has limited functionality without those permissions is scummy, but you should be able to access those photos from another app, Google Photos isn’t locking them out of access, right? what’s hostage about this?
